Damn Gid, you had some good seats for Nascar
RE: I'd Rather Be There... - 5000 Years Old Man - 03-Feb-2015
well you know I only used 1 of the 4 tickets provided (2 ticket for each NASCAR event)
there was only one of me there and the plane arrived too late for the 1st (minor) Saturday event -- it was either checking in at the hotel or run to catch the shuttle, and my running days are over -- I gave those two ticket to a porter at the hotel
on Sunday I had the time but there still was only one of me
for those more interested in the event, Dale Earnardt jr. who had been leading for quite a while run out of gas at the last lap and only made it second

for me, in the desert with almost 150,000 weary fans trying to get back to the city, that was the main event:

RE: I'd Rather Be There... - garbaggio - 03-Feb-2015
I know you got the tickets for free, but I can't imagine paying to watch people drive around in a circle.
Taha
RE: I'd Rather Be There... - deliverance - 03-Feb-2015
You watch it for the crashes.
RE: I'd Rather Be There... - 5000 Years Old Man - 04-Feb-2015
I don't care much for watching sport events myself, would be interested if some of the participants were friends or relatives.
Got tickets, flights, limousine service, hotel stays, and spending money for free. Why, I did not even sign up for the contest.
Stays were too short and flights too long, especially for the earlier Hawaii trip. Not partial to huge crowds, air trips, and long waits either. Yet I would do it again.
Surprisingly I enjoyed many Vegas sights, fake but well done.
